God Has Revealed Himself Through History

What is the biggest height you have ever accidentally fallen from? What happened?

CONSIDER:

Can you see why a person who chooses not to believe a God exists would need to say that the Bible is unreliable, irrespective of any evidences?

What are some other understandable reasons for why people might distrust the Bible before considering evidences?

Regarding what God is like:

• What sort of things can we reasonably know about God from the Creation? E.g. Orderly, intelligent etc…
• What do you see as one of the main things we learn about God (and what he is like) from his revealing of himself to us through history?
• What other things might God’s revelation of himself through history, as recorded in the Bible, tell us about what God is like? (Add to your list).

REFLECTION:

What was most relevant to you in this session? How does this affect how you view God?

PRAYER:

Dear God, thank you for making us relational people, just like you are a relational God. Thank you also for revealing yourself to us so humbly, connecting with us despite our failings, and connecting with us at a level we can comprehend — rather than overwhelming us or scaring us, which you could so easily do. You want us to choose you — and I choose you.

Thank you also for preserving the Bible like you have –preserved better and with more early copies than any other book, with amazing verifiable history and predictions in it, and more. It looks like you knew we’d doubt — and so you helped us through preserving all this information. Thank you for preserving both this book, and the evidences, so we could know our faith in you is well grounded.

Amen.
